He is in 6-9 month clothes.
He has the cutest chubby cheeks.
He has rolls on his legs and arms, which I love!
He has the biggest smile.
He laughed for the first time the other day. . .so cute!
He is very loud, whether it is talking, laughing or crying.
He still loves the swing, thank goodness!!
He loves sitting up, with the assistance of something or someone.
He is so happy.
He LOVES to eat!!
He is so much fun, I love him so much!

One Year Older

And wiser too ( hopefully he is getting a bit wiser)
Happy Birthday to you!!
We went bowling, and then to Winger's
to celebrate Eman's big day! Since Max, Dave & I
were sick we are going to celebrate with
cousins, grandpa & grandma later.
I hope you had a great day buddy!
I love you so much, you are such a good boy!

Such a handsome boy

Such goofballs!

Jaxson was soo excited to go bowling!
He loved it! So fun to watch! I wish I
had a video camera, he was hilarious!!

What do you get for the boy who has everything?
When asked what he wanted, he couldn't even tell
me! So a game that farts? What 7 yr old wouldn't
love it? It was a hit!!

Jaxson loves his daddy!!

Love my boys!

Kem & Lin were able to join us for dinner.

He now has the complete set!

Cody's first Derby

As I have said before, Cody is such a fun boy! He is
excited about everything! This being his first
pinewood derby was no different.
He loved helping/watching Dave build his car. (He did sand it,
and decide what colors it would be, and what vinyl he wanted
on it.) The big night came, and he took 5th place!
Not too shabby, especially out of 20 something cars! He
got a medal and the most innovative car award.
Good job Toad! (And Dad)

These boys!

Keep me busy, but happy!
And this is only half of my boys!
This is what we do when Cody & Ethan
are at school. I do whatever it takes to
keep them entertained. Some days it takes
more effort than others.
I love to watch Jax interact with
Max! He loves his brother so much,
and loves to "help" take care of him!

He can always make Max smile!
"Mom, you can't see me!"
Peek-a-boo
Best. Thing. Ever.
Keeps him happy for hours!
He loves getting his picture taken.
Love these boys!!

3 Months

I can't believe he is already 3 months old!
He is getting to be so much fun. He is so happy, and
always has a smile. He is almost laughing. He can
roll from his tummy to his back, and almost from back
to tummy. He loves to eat! He still doesn't quite realize
that night time is the time to sleep, but he is doing better!
He has RSV, and thankfully was able to stay home and not
in the hospital. Even though he was miserable, he always
had a smile! I love this little guy!
He weighs 12 lbs. 2 oz. and is 23 1/2 in long.

He loves his brothers!

So happy, but sounds so crappy.

I LOVE this smile!!
He makes my day.

Since we are tight on space, we didn't get out
the changing table. We use half of Jax's train table
as the changing table. This is Max's FAVORITE place
to be, well, next to the swing of course!
He will lay here and just smile and talk to the white
wall. It is so funny! There is nothing there but he is
perfectly content. You lay him anywhere else and within
a short bit he is ready for a change, but if he is on the
"changing table" he can lay there for long periods of time.
I wish I could see what he sees!

He's getting so big! I love you little Max!!

I just love this little dude. He really has never been one to pull
everything out and play with them. He normally likes to just
make a mess and then move on. He was even pretending to
read a recipe! He cracks me up!!

Oh to be young. . .

And able to fall asleep ANYWHERE, in any position,
no matter what you are doing, at any time!!

Who doesn't love sleepovers?
When I was little, the week between Christmas and
New Year's we would take turns sleeping at my cousins
and my house. It was so much fun.
This year we had Heidi's kids sleepover.
Dave made pizza for everyone, and we had skooki's,
yum-o cookies with ice cream and chocolate on top!
Rah & Lin stayed over to give Dave and I an entire
night of sleep with no Max interruption's!!
Kem wasn't planning on staying but that night was really
crappy driving conditions, so he stayed.
We played games, and the little boys watched movies.
It was a so fun, and so nice to be able to get 7 hours of sleep,
in a row! Seriously, who doesn't LOVE sleepovers?!?

The cutest boys with their new blankets
and pillowpets.

I knew boys were good for something. . .
. . .they are good for MANY, many things!!
This just happens to be one of them. They could
hardly wait to get outside and shovel.
The cutest boys ever, and the best helpers!
Today they (mostly Cody) folded two loads of laundry.
See, they are good for something!!

Happy Tismas Guys!!

This is the phrase you hear from Jaxs! Whenever
the phone rang or someone was at the door he
would yell out "Happy Tismas Guys"!! He is the
cutest boy ever! Christmas is such a fun time of year.
My boys love it, and get so excited. I love watching their
faces as they open presents, and how excited they are
to give Dave and I gifts. They are so much fun!!
Cody and Ethan got I-pods, clothes, Bakugan's,
drawing stuff, an erector set, books and more.
Jaxson got a art table, cars, clothes, movies and more.
Max, who didn't need anything, got some baby toys.

After opening gifts at home we went to my parents for the
BEST breakfast ever, had lots of fun with family, opened more
gifts, ate lots of yummy food, and played games.
It was a great day!
I love everything about Christmas. The meaning, the spirit,
the joy & excitement it brings, the yummy food,
being together with family, EVERYTHING!
I am so blessed, I have the best family!
I love my sweet husband and all he does for my little
family. I love my boys to the moon and back and then back again.
I love my parents, I don't know what I would do with out them.
I love my siblings and am so grateful to have most of them close by.
I love that Rah was able to come home for Christmas.
Like I said, best family EVER!

They were sooo excited, they got up at 6!
I was able to hold them off until 7.

Eman got new snow clothes.

Loves his table! Whenever he is coloring
he says "me write my name."

He was such a good helper opening both mine and
Dave's gifts.

His favorite thing? Has to be the Pringles!

Pringles and milk, what a great breakfast!!

What a good uncle! Kem was being a the
best horse, he even nayed!!
Jaxs even was whipping his belt as he yelled yee-haw!!

Rah, Lin & cute Max

Loves Spongebob.
